I just found this, don't know if it's been mentioned on here before: http://www.les-stooges.org/pascal/penci ... hp?id=Home
It's a pretty decent program for basic frame-by-frame animation, as if you were drawing on paper. There's a bitmap pencil tool and a vector tool which isn't quite as good as the one in Flash (it tends to make random squiggles in your line, although you can set the smoothness value in the preferences). But for basic animation it's really good. And free. And cross-platform.
